Answer» Answer: A change in temperature of 1°C is exactly the same as a change in temperature of 1 K. They are defined to be the same size. The only difference is where the TWO scales have their ZERO. Absolute zero temperature is 0 K. For Celsius, 0°C is the freezing POINT of water. That turns out to be at an absolute temperature of 273.15 K. Water BOILS at 100°C. So that is 373.15 K. If you have any temperature expressed in °C, you just add 273.15 to that to CONVERT it into absolute temperature in kelvin. |
